The District’s economic developments include: creation and execution of a long-range plan; promoting the District to businesses that are relocating; working with developers to provide the information they need to make sound investment decisions and to help them locate suitable opportunities that meet their investment criteria; and working with the City of Houston, the State of Texas, Harris County, Metro, TxDOT, and the Harris County Flood Control District to coordinate services and plan projects.
